Benefits of technology

[0008] Respective input keys may be associated with encoded information identifying respective linked pages. This allows selection of a plurality of links on a page simply and quickly.

Problems solved by technology

However, when using a mobile (i.e. vehicle-mounted) or portable (i.e. carried by hand) device, the provision of a suitable mouse-like device can be difficult, and even if it can be provided, using it while driving, for instance, can be dangerous.
This problem can affect the ease with which the user can navigate the WWW, and consequently restricts the usefulness to the user of the WWW.

EXAMPLE TEXT

[0041] This will display the words ‘EXAMPLE TEXT’ in bold. The text qualifiers in angle brackets are called tags, and there a number of such tags which perform different functions in HTML. They all appear in angle brackets, and their functionality is ended by use of a forward slash as shown in the example.

[0042] A particular tag used in HTML is the anchor tag. This is used to identify a link to another page. Moving the cursor over the highlighted text will send a request to the remote computer to send the new page referenced by the anchor text. An example of such a link, and the coding producing it is given here:

For more information, click here.(Text as it appears on the display)

[0043] The underlying HTML code required to produce this display is:

For more information, click here.

[0044] The anchor tag pair surrounds only the words ‘click here’, and so only those words are shown underlined on the screen, and in turn are the only words which are related to the link ...

Abstract

An apparatus and associated method is disclosed for receiving a page of information from a remote source. The page contains a link to a linked page of information, and is displayed on a display. The apparatus is equipped with a user operable input device associated with the link. Actuation of the input device causes a request to be sent for the linked page to be transmitted to the apparatus.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a user interface for use particularly as part of a portable, or an in-vehicle (mobile) wireless telecommunications apparatus. [0002] There is an ever-increasing demand to be able to access data from remote computers from anywhere via portable or mobile telecommunications devices. This is exemplified by the increase in the usage of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). WAP allows users of mobile or portable phones to access specially designed WWW pages, and display them on the usually relatively small displays of their phones. [0003] As display technology improves, and the price of displays drops, then it will become increasingly feasible to supply high-resolution pages of information to mobile or portable devices. This will be especially true for vehicle-mounted equipment where there is not such an emphasis on size constraints. [0004] One of the advantages of the WWW is the manner in which one can easily jump from page to p...
